A new technique
for cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging can improve accuracy by removing
patients’ need to breathe, as the lack of motion allows acquisition of higher
quality images in less time, according to research presented at EuroCMR 2016 in Florence,
Italy.
“In many imaging
techniques, but particularly in CMR, you need a relatively long...

According to a recent
statement by the American Heart Association, doctors should ensure that
patients understand the radiation-related risks of heart imaging tests before
they undertake the procedures. These heart imaging tests may include nuclear
stress tests, cardiac CT scans and fluoroscopy.
According to Dr. Rana
Fazel, MD, MSc, chair of the...
